Questions and Answers

As answered by people managing #TIL Chrome New Tab and JitBlox.

What makes your product unique?

JitBlox's answer:

JitBlox is a developer-friendly low-code tool: it integrates battle-tested UI components from popular libraries. Our toolbox lets you add components, layouts, and design fragments with just a few clicks and allows you to configure widgets interactively using a real-time preview. The source code that JitBlox generates follows best practices, making the design handoff a no-brainer.

Why should a person choose your product over its competitors?

JitBlox's answer:

By embracing thoroughly tested UI libraries such as Bootstrap and Material Design, JitBlox avoids vendor lock-in while saving a lot of testing and bug fixing further down the line in your project. Starting a web project with JitBlox is super fast: creating a working app (new or from a template) requires no downloads and takes less than a second (depending on how quickly you can come up with a name for your project 😉). Compared to most code-based prototyping solutions, you also get a working app and a real-time preview, but without the hassle of setting up a development environment, installing frameworks, and copying and pasting snippets of code from the web.

How would you describe your primary audience?

JitBlox's answer:

The primary users of JitBlox are developers with design skills, but our audience also certainly includes tech-savvy (interaction) designers who want to build an interactive prototype.

What's the story behind your product?

JitBlox's answer:

JitBlox is a spin-off of an open-source code generation and modeling platform named Yellicode: after successfully using Yellicode to generate code for several Angular apps, the developer (Maurice de Laat) decided to build a small UI around it, resulting in JitBlox's first MVP in 2020... As a matter of fact, JitBlox's code generation and modeling capabilities are still powered by Yellicode.

Which are the primary technologies used for building your product?

JitBlox's answer:

The JitBlox designer is built primarily with TypeScript, Rollup and Angular. Its backend is built with ASP.NET Core and the real-time preview is powered by Webpack and WebRTC.
